Event coordination

We, the Hochschulgruppe eSports United Karlsruhe (campus group), are showing the last three match days to celebrate the biggest spectacle of Dota2 this year together with fans in the region. DOTA 1 veterans as well as fresh DOTA 2 followers are welcome. We especially welcome those of you that want to get to know the phenomenon DOTA.

Venue

The pubstomp is happening at AKK on campus of KIT. Drinks are available at prices for students (1,50€ a beer to give you an idea about prices). We are working on providing some food and will report with news.

For saturday, it is planned to use the outside tribune, if the weather allows it. Visitors are advised to bring their own blanket or similar for their own comfort.

Stream: We will use the broadcast featuring the English casters.

Entry is free!
